Shenzhen Metro Line 3 (formerly branded as Longgang line), runs northeastward from Futian Bonded Area to Shuanglong. Line 3 opened on 28 December 2010. Line 3's color is blue.^[2]

Since opening, it has been heavily trafficked and became a major transport option for urban workers. Line 3 currently has a service interval of 5 minutes between trains across the entire length of the line. Sectional trains operate on weekdays, between Huaxin and Tangkeng, from 7:15 am to 9:15 am and from 5:45 pm to 7:45 pm. This is to alleviate surges in passenger traffic at Buji, since the opening of the connecting Shenzhen East.^[3]
